Re: Playground for practical listening exercises

Kan, by a great margin I must say. Takes 1-2 second to hear how much more engaging they reproduce sound. Having written that, I did'nt find the M109 engaging at all in this clip with this set up. Have heard them significantly better (read tunefull) with different set-up, both active and passive.

Re: Utopik upgrade

Did the upgrade to m Akurate DSM/1 this week. Note this has the option to use analog volum control (which is was better than the hybrid alternative). First via streaming, clearly more enjoyable music. Sharper definition of drums was the first I noticed then just more relaxing and easy to follow the ...

Re: The conclusion of digital volume regulation

As with everything, things are more difficult than they appear - even the question. For the DSM (Akurate including ADSM/2 and Majik including MDSM/3) Linn recognized that the digital volume control was insufficiently developed and hence the user were given the option in Konfig (or newer web based vi...

Noen was as musical as the Basik. For a more limited budget the as by others mentioned Dual is also quite engaging and...

Re: Linn Majik 109

Hi and congratulations with what I assume is a brand new pair. Others have already given good advice. The M109 is a very revealing speaker and a Majik DSI is now getting a bit old and technology has progressed. Having said that, I do not recall my DSI to be "bright" as such but a Majik DSM/2 is a si...

Re: Akurate DSM / Exakbox 10 - Upgrade path

Hi, having owned and owning some of the equipment you mention I'd rater propose: 1) Sell the ADSM and buy a 2nd hand Selekt DSM. Way more engaging as a Hub. There will be some Ex demo versions now due to the just released version with new PSU. I've done this test in my system and the Akurate Exakt D...

Re: Majik 109 Modification

Hi, i wonder about the same. Has one set MISO in Exakt with Akurate Exaktbok Kat + 2xA4200 and another set active bass and the rest via Cross over from Majik 6100. With the same source one would not believe it's the same speaker.

Perhaps this should be a separate thread?

Hi. Sure. The postage from Norway to US is 534 NOK = 60.22 US $ according to todays currency. Alternative if it no stress I can send them from Houston in May if that would be cheaper?

Re: Majik 109 - inner cable upgrade

There's another thing though. A foam damping thing inside the speaker cabinet that needs to be in a certain position for the bass to sound the best. That's seems like worth looking into and maybe other members of the forum can chime in and tell you more about it. Then there's of course the torquing...

Good observation, Matteo! It was a couple of years since I last compared them using a Linn DS. Last time I remember we thought Spotify was better, but sounding a bit dull.

Having said that, for the first and most important part for sound quality, you may get an improvement but Spotify (even the Premium version) is such heavily compressed that I would not bother. How long ago was it that you compared Spotify with Tidal, Øyvind? If it was a couple of years ago, I sugge...
